Question

Plants do not die even in bright scorching sunlight. Why?

Answer 1

Transpiration:

• Transpiration is the process of removing water molecules from the plants into the external environment.
• The process can occur through an opening present on a leaf structure called stomata.

Protection of Plants during bright sunlight:

• The energy from the sunlight causes the elevation in the temperature of the plants. Very bright sunlight can harm the plant's leaves, causing their wilting.
• The transpiration causes the cooling of the plant due to the release of water molecules in the form of vapor. It reduces the temperature of plants and prevents the plants from damaging due to the bright sunlight.

Therefore, the plants do not die in scorching sunlight due to the transpiration process.
